Later, that same evening, she ran.
  I think she ran alone.
  Later, she had early warning from
  a hidden phone.
  Checked with the embassy ---
  she might have been
  a million miles away.
  Should I circulate her likeness
  at all airports without delay?
  It was later ---
  later that same evening.
  
  Earlier, we had had a drink or four
  in some Kensington hotel.
  Hard --- it was hard to keep my mind
  on what she had to sell.
  And with all business done
  we took a cab ---
  should it be her place or mine?
  Good security prevailed
  and I was home just after nine.
  It was later ---
  later that same evening.
  
  Now I want you back.
  Yes, they want you back.
  We want you back.
  My country wants you back.
  
  Later, in the wee small hours
  there was heavy traffic on the radio.
  Scare at a channel port ---
  small craft warnings to keep to shore.
  Lobstermen thought they saw
  a submarine
  half submerged suspiciously.
  Though I arrived too late,
  I'm sure she blew a kiss to me
  as the sub sailed out to sea.
